Mahama Drops Humongous List of his Promises Despite Cristism
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has done his thing again as he drops another humongous list of his promises despite criticism.

The NDC candidate, Mahama has not stop his humongous list of promises despite criticism from public figures, politicians and other presidential candidates from other parties

It is just 98days to one of the biggest event in the Nation which will decide who will become the next President of the Republic of Ghana.

Will it still Nana Akufo-Addo of NPP or John Dramani Mahama of NDC?, we don’t know yet but December 7, 2020 will give us the answer.

However, the fact is that the 2020 elections is between two major political party in Ghana

And also two well known presidential candidates who have competed for the presidential post for some number of times now i.e Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party who happens to be the current president and the opposition candidate, John Dramani Mahama.

The former president of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama is so much ready and he is giving all his efforts to come out victorious in the December polls.

But despite all his efforts, there has been a massive criticism against some of his campaign promises because many feels he is giving those promises to score political points and also to win the hearts of Ghanaians so they will vote for him.

According to yesterday, 30 August 2020 reports, the presidential candidates of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo expressed his disappointments over the former president humongous list of promises and mostly the one he said, he will legalize Okada riding business.

But despite all criticism and down play, the NDC presidential candidate still recapitulated the same promises on his official Facebook page this morning.

Below are pictures of what he posted as he had promised during his campaign;

Game Over! AG never gave Agyapa Deal All Clear Latest legal Advice Reveals

The latest letter from the Attorney-General Gloria Akufo on the scandalous Agyapa/Asaase Royalties transaction dated August 12, 2020 has disturbingly revealed how the Finance Ministry and the Jubilee House have fraudulently pushed the agreement through despite four different warning that the deal was harmful to Ghana.

The Attorney General had described the Agyapa deal as “onerous”, “unconscionable” , and a violation of Bank of Ghana Act. But earlier today, August 28, 2020, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, President Akufo Addo’s cousin and the main champion of the Agyapa deal has claimed that after discussions with the AG, she had changed her stance.

In the interview with Accra-based Asempa FM, Gabby went on to claim that the August 12, 2020 letter which is the AG final acceptance of the terms of the shady agreement is not in circulation, claiming the exposé of the older advice from the AG was politically motivated.

However, Whatsup News can categorically state that Gabby lied when he claimed the AG’s warnings had been heeded to in the agreement. Whatsup News is in possession of the August 12, 2020 letter that Mr. Otchere-Darko referred to and the AG is still insisting that the harmful deal had been pushed through against her advice.

In fact, the transaction advisors have gone behind the AG to insert even more damaging provisions into the agreement, making Ghana liable to legal suits while indemnifying the faceless private investors and the transaction brokers on Wall Street.

For instance, the faceless sponsors of the Agyapa deal have secretly maintained provisions in the agreement that basically destroys Ghana’s sovereignty in the transaction. An angry AG ordered them to go back and scrap the subversive provisions.

“Sovereign Immunity and Waiver of Defences (B4.151- We maintain our position that Sovereignty resides in the State properly so-called and not in limited liability companies (even with the State being the majority shareholder) or statutory bodies. Although the Fund and Ghana Revenue Authority are statutory bodies, they are not sovereign and therefore cannot enjoy sovereign immunities in respect of “protected assets,” the AG stated.

From our sources, this latest warning against bastardising Ghana’s sovereignty was maintained in the final agreement that was passed in Parliament a couple of weeks ago.

“We note that this is a new provision introduced into the Agreement which seeks to hold the Republic and the Fund jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations and undertaking,” the AG complained in the August 12 letter.

The AG then ordered the transaction sponsors at the Ministry of Finance and friends of Mr. Otchere-Darko to go back and change the insidious terms that would have adversely left Ghana vulnerable to suits from Agyapa investors.

The AG said they should go and change the particular provision to the following: “If a third party not being a party to this Deed, commences proceedings against any Indemnified Person in any court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with this Deed, the Transaction, or the provision by any of the Banks of assistance to the MOF or any other member of the Group in connection with the Transaction (the Third Party Proceedings), MOF as a party may join such Third Party Proceedings in such courts In the jurisdiction in question, regardless of whether proceedings have been initiated or are ongoing in another JurisdIction. The MOF irrevocably agrees that a Judgment or order of any such court in connection with such proceedings shall be conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other Jurisdiction.”

Whatsup News have gathered from sources that President Akufo Addo himself has mounted pressure on the AG to let the matter go, despite her strong opposition to how Ghana’s sovereignty is being “raped”.

Already, Jubilee House hounds have been unleased on the Ministry of Finance and the Attorney General’s office to smoke out the angry whistleblowers who had leaked the documents.

In the stinking agreement, the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) which was set up in 2018, requires a private Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to “monetise” Ghana’s mining royalties that sum up to US$ 200 million annually. Agyapa Royalties was incidentally picked as the lucky SPV. It was eventually registered in a notorious tax haven on the British Virgin Islands often used by corrupt politicians to hide identifies of “Shell companies” they form to siphon public funds.

However, paper trails are linking the onerous deal as being pushed to personally benefit the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko and the Jubilee House “Mafia”.

For instance, the transaction advisors to the hair-raising deal included a law firm owned by Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, who is President Akufo Addo’s cousin and right-hand-man at the Presidency. Investigations by Whatsup News reveals that Asaase/Agyapa Royalties has relationships with companies and individuals that are directly connected to the Finance Minister and the Jubilee House.

The president is expected to ease more restrictions particularly the opening of the country’s border by air.

It’s been 6 months since the novel Coronavirus first hit the shores of Ghana. Many sectors of the nation were hit hard by the pandemic. The country even had to go under a lockdown for some time. However, the tide kept turning for humanity and easing of restrictions started.

Mahama reduced teacher absenteeism from 27 to 7% – Ablakwa

Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has revealed that the Mahama administration was able to reduce teacher absenteeism at the basic and second cycle levels from the 27 per cent they inherited to 7 per cent.

He told host Abena Tabi on The Key Points on TV3 Saturday, August 29 that the administration also managed to remove 65 per cent of the schools that were under trees.

This, according the former Deputy Minister of Education, was as result of the remarkable investment Mr Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) made in the educational sector.

Contributing to a discussion on the track records of the NDC and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Ablakwa said: “I will situate what we did in three broad spectrums: quality, access and equity.

“If you look at quality you will notice that former president Mahama was committed to improving outcomes and so looked at all the gamut of issues that has to be invested in and has to be addressed.

“So you take for example teacher absenteeism, we met it at 27 per cent and through a vigorours campaign, meeting with the teacher unions and putting in place the right systems because it is not fair that parents will pay fees, children will go to school and there are no teachers to teach them, by the end of our four-year mandate teacher absenteeism had reduced from 27 to 7 per cent.

“You take the nature of our rural schools. We counted not less than 4000 schools under trees [and] you are competing with students in Singapore, students in Finland and these are yardsticks. If you look at their class environment it is friendly, the child is looking forward to the next day of school and so we decided to embark on a programme which we call Elimination of Schools Under Trees. And the records will show that we managed to eliminate about 65 per cent of the schools under trees which we met across the length and breadth of this country.”

He further revealed that the best Basic Education Certificate Examination as well as the West African Senior Schools Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) results topped under the NDC administration due to these and other investments.

“For four consecutive years Ghana was adjudged the best WASSCE performing nation because of these investments that were made. We carried out an inventory of teachers we realised that some 3400 vacancies exist so far as Maths and Science teachers are concerned and we recruited teachers to fill that vacancies,” he said.

Reacting to his comments also on the same show, Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Second Cycle Education Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum said the NDC only tackled the symptoms of the problems in the sector and left the actual problem.

“If you solve teacher absenteeism and not take a look at the school leadership and accountability you are not going to get anywhere.

“I Dislike Kojo Oppong Nkrumah. Should I See Him, I’ll Pass By” – A Plus Openly Confesses
Musician turned politician, Kwame Obeng Asare aka A Plus has publicly confessed his dislike for Kojo Oppong Nkrumah who is the Information Minister and Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayeribi.

In an interview with Kofi TV, A Plus said he will not tolerate the presence of the minister if he should meet him. According to him, his dislike for Kojo Opppong Nkrumah will highly influence his decision to ignore the exchange of pleasantries.

“Kojo Oppong Nkrumah used to be my friend; now, I don’t like him. I won’t lie and say we’re in a good relationship. I don’t like him. If I see him, I’ll pass; but if he greets me, I’ll respond. We must accord people respect,” he noted in the interview.

In detailing the cause for this stance, A Plus said Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, when he was a journalist in the lead up to the 2016 elections labelled the candidature and the fight against corruption by Akufo-Addo as unfit and unpurposeful.
Therefore, A Plus believes Mr Oppong Nkrumah should not be tolerated around the party especially when his role to ensure the victory of the party in 2016 was minimal and inconsequential.

“In 2016, I dedicated my time and risked my life for him [Oppong Nkrumah]. I went to Ofoase Ayirebi to help him win the parliamentary elections. I did it for free, I just wanted to help him to win.
“So when you win and go for a radio interview on corruption and I’m mentioned that I have criticized the government about its way of fighting corruption and you create an impression that ‘A Plus is not a serious guy, he has fallen out with the government so no one sho

A Plus angrily retorted that the fact that Kojo Oppong Nkrumah is a minister does not mean they are ‘co-equals.’

“I’m not your co-equal. You are a government appointee, I run my own business. I’m not an appointee. The government tasked me but revoked it after three months thinking I’ll die as a result. I have survived it. Out of my free will, I supported your campaign and it meant I meant well for you. So if you become a minister and think you have power, don’t think you can use that power to disrespect people who genuinely supported you.”

A Plus has always been on the neck of the Information Minister since he was appointed. His social media posts do not cease to tag the young politician as corrupt, ungrateful and sycophant. He has launched several attacks against Kojo Oppong Nkrumah which the minister is yet to react or respond to.

However, many sympathizers of the NPP believe all the shenanigans being exhibited by A Plus is because he feels he has been sidelined by the government and as a result of the abundance of bitterness that has piled in his heart, decided to attack appointees of the government who are clean and blameless.

A 20-year-old man and his 18-year-old pregnant girlfriend of the Mansoman Senior High School in the Amansie West of the Ashanti Region are unashamedly partaking in the ongoing West African Secondary School Certificate Examination.

The pregnancy is said to have been a result of a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship that is prevalent in most second cycle institutions across the country.

According to a report by Ghanaxtra.com, the lady said she does not want the pregnancy to serve as a hindrance to her future, although their indiscretion and immaturity has caused the situation they find themselves in.
“I’m in my seventh month, and it may not be advisable for a student to do what I did but since it has happened, I can’t say I won’t write because of shyness. Because of my future, I’m not ashamed of writing with my pregnancy.”

God has indeed blessed our homeland Ghana. It is we, who must now make her Great and Strong,” the audit and consultancy manager said.

He is an International Development expert with vast experiences managing global innovation and development funds, meaning he understands how the world and development work and how to strategically position Ghana within it.

Mr Gane is not tainted by Ghana’s political system and as such, he brings refreshing creativity, inclusiveness and objectivity to how politics is done, as well as the political willpower to challenge and change faulty status quos devoid of blind party allegiance.

He admits both our educational system and economy need radical policy innovations to create new opportunities by releasing the full potential of Ghana’s human resource. He believes the solution to our development, lies in Ghana’s youthful population, if well-equipped, motivated, then directed. He is a passionate Ghanaian with high integrity, a balanced Christian and respecter of all faiths and creeds.

In his own words: “Our generation is a bridge – the only remaining bridge between the truncated dreams of our forebears and the eager hopes of posterity unborn. We have no choice but to disrupt every faulty status quo and make Ghana work for ALL of us. It is a grave burden that will demand more from all of us collectively. God has indeed blessed our homeland Ghana. It is WE, who MUST now make her Great and Strong.”

Marricke Kofi Gane’s message to Ghanaians is simple – “I am here to put Ghana first because GHANA deserves better! Because YOU deserve better! Because WE deserve better.”

His call is to every well-meaning Ghanaian to join this paradigm revolution, so together we can create a fitting inheritance for our future generation, unleash the best Ghanaian in all of us and build the Ghana that is indeed “Great and Strong.” Bring your time and expertise to volunteer, bring your finances to support, bring your votes to back a good cause and bring your influence to steer a new order.

Thank you.

CPP executives gear up for 2020 election

As a demonstration of their commitment and pledge to the party and its progress, newly elected executives of the Convention People’s Party, took an oath of allegiance during their swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, August 26, 2020.

The event which was held at the party’s headquarters in Accra saw the Flagbearer, Ivor Kobina Greensheet, and other executives of the party, officially being ushered into their respective leadership positions.

This follows the party’s national delegates congress held in the Eastern Region on Saturday, August 22, 2020.

Greenstreet won 213 of the total valid votes cast against Bright Akwetey and Divine Ayivor who polled 27 and 14 of the total valid votes cast respectively.

Nana Akosua Frimpomaa Kumakuma, who was the 2012 running-mate of the then CPP flagbearer Dr Abu Sakara Foster, was elected National Chairperson.

Nana Yaa Akyimpim Jantuah, former Public Affairs Director of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), was elected General Secretary with 187 votes against acting General Secretary James Kwabena Bomfeh popularly known as Kabila who polled 67 votes.

Emmanuel Ogbojor won 125 votes to become Vice Chairman of the party against Onsy Kwame Nkrumah, self-acclaimed son of CPP’s founder Kwame Nkrumah who polled 84 votes.

Meanwhile, Flagbearer, Mr. Greenstreet has entreated Ghanaians to be circumspect with their votes. He believes a vote for the CPP is a vote for the Ghanaian populace whereas a vote for the two big parties, New Patriotic Party and National Democratic Congress a wasted one.

“People of Ghana, a vote for the CPP is a vote for yourself. For the past 28 years, our country has been governed by the NPP and the NDC who have ruled more to serve the interest of they themselves and not the interest of the people of Ghana,” he stated.
